The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Laptimer Michael Schumacher
Let's get this out of the way. Audemars Piguet and Michael Schumacher, perhaps the greatest driver in the history of motorsports, have had a longstanding relationship. In 2012, Schumacher even had his own limited edition Offshore built. It quickly sold out, and though a short-run Offshore wasn't, at the time, a particularly noteworthy thing, there was something special about Schumacher's. In December of 2013, Schumacher suffered a terrible skiing accident while on vacation with his family, and after months in a medically induced coma, he is wheel-chair bound recovering slowly at his home outside Geneva. Since the accident, Michael Schumacher's corporate sponsors have slowly but steadily recoiled from association with the all-time great. All of them, except for one – Audemars Piguet.

I love the way the logo is hovering above the dial, it makes me smile.

First ever "luxury" watch - Omega Speedmaster Professional 3573.50 c. 1863
Hi everyone,I'm fairly new to the luxury watch world, as I became very interested in timepieces just this past summer. As I'm turning 21 and beginning a career I feel this is the perfect time to have picked up this hobby, as I feel that a watch says a lot about a person.After many hours of research, I decided on the Speedy Pro Sapphire Sandwich - I couldn't possibly think of using the hesalite crystal as a daily (although I know some disagree) and am also extremely fascinated by the view of the movement, so my choice was a natural one.I hope to soon learn how to remove the bracelet so that I can try on the Perforated Racing strap that I ordered with the watch (it's just sitting there, teasing me). The AD who sold me the watch promised to guide me through the process over the phone next week. I'm trying to learn by myself as I tend to be impatient with eagerness, but so far none of the online guides have me confident enough to try (all I have is a small screwdriver, which is what my AD

Help needed 5712 SS or WG?
Hi everyone,Like you all know I have ordered the 5712 in SS, but today my grey dealer told me that he has just received the 5712 in White Gold, it is from 2012, he will send it to Patek Philippe to have it slightly polished and to change the bracelet.The white gold would cost me 400 euros more than the SS.For me the plus of the SS is the bracelet, I prefer metal bracelets to leather, and the beautiful blue dial.The plus of the White gold is that it's gold, the grey dial is also great and it would cost me basically 10.500 euros less than retail price, whereas on the SS version I would save Seeing that I will be living in one year in Thailand maybe the metal bracelet is the better choice, honestly I prefer the SS version because of the metal bracelet, but maybe it is more reasonable to get the gold version for this price?Knowing that I won't be able to buy another Nautilus, so the one I buy will be the only one, maybe will be able to get later an Aquanaut but 2 Nautilus is just impossibl

Incameing - For Her!
Shreve & Co in Palo Alto was having a Panerai event last Thursday and as my favorite salesperson Lisa says, The best place to buy a Panerai is at a Panerai event.I had picked out the 523 ahead of time as the one that my wife would need to get. Lisa pulled it out and I had my wife model it for the corporate reps they had out who all agreed with me that it looked amazing. She ended up being convinced and once you have one of these on the wrist the watch itself does the rest of the convincing.Here's a shot with my 372.
